NFL.com: Earl Thomas fined $15K for Tannehill hit

November 28, 2012

NFL.com reported on Wednesday that Seattle Seahawks defensive back Earl Thomas had been fined $15,000 for shot to the head of Dolphins' quarterback Ryan Tannehill on Sunday.

Trailing Seattle 14-7 in the fourth quarter, Tannehill threw across his body into the end zone. Bobby Wagner picked off the pass, but Thomas' momentum carried him into Tannehill's helmet. Daniel Thomas went on to rush for the tying touchdown.

Earl Thomas responded to his fine with a couple of Twitter offerings.

First: 'NFL to funny..try and take money out your pockets anyway possible ...#15kfine.'

Then: Not worried about the 15k fine because when my numbers win on the power ball everything gonna be str8....lol
